College

So, I'm in college right now and I can honestly say, I was kind of sad to see my parents leave...

Alright, so I woke up at six in the morning after going to bed at like...three o'clock in the morning. I'm kind of wishing I got a shower...I feel really skeevy right now. I don't like it. Anyway... We drove for about an hour and got to my school. My college. And then we unpacked, after several jokes on the road...so many good times. We then unpacked everything and got it to my dorm where Audrina, Liz, and Runner were already packing and stuff. It was a good time. I brought all my stuff and got everything done in about an hour and then Mother, Father, Sibling and I went to lunch at a place called Duck's Deli - Restaurant... It was delicious food, really it was....

Then we came back and found the room to be completely finished and looking fantastic... Everything is so amazing... My desk is the first desk in a row of three, and Liz's desk is in a corner somewhere behind me... but our room is fantastic. I really can't describe it any other way... 

Oh... it's amazing. These girls are fantastic. It's not going to be difficult for me to become friends with them... they're already friends in my book... They like Disney, and we have similar style in personalities.... so, it's all fantastically amazing.  I can't really explain anything else... I'm getting thoroughly distracted watching Mulan... that movie is so awesome... I really need to find another adjective... 'Awesome' and 'amazing' just don't seem to cut it anymore.

I'll tell you more about college when I have real classes on Monday... I haven't even gotten my books yet. Anyway, it's about that time...

Quote of the Day

Mother: -nods out of the car- That boy is wearing kneepads... 

Sibling: He probably plays football...

Father: No, thats the kid who gets his shins beaten with baseball bats. Now he's got shin pads... -shakes fist in air- "You won't get me now! Not today!"

That's was some amazing times...

I'm going to muss them more every day, I think...

I love my family, I really do...

-sigh-

-sniffle-

Really...

I Hope You Have The Time Of Your Life

If I were a wordsmith I'd say:

I spent the evening with friends I thought I would never acquire, around a 'roaring' fire built of wood, paper plates and other random pieces of cardboard and soda cans. Sometime during the night a shower of embers exploded from the fire 'bowl', ignited by little fire crackers. We sat around the fire, we spoke about the trivial things, watched a movie starring most of us, listened to music and ate pizza and drank soda. After a while, we went to another friend's house, and waited in his basement until he came home, then surprised him when he walked down the stairs - he was shocked. We then went to another friend's house and played Murder, a game previously diagrammed. The group of us, Flower, Tophersan, Dirk, AJ aka Mr. Bamboo, Onyx, msCyborg, General Chukamaga laughed and made jokes about each other. 

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the Road

Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go...

Then, it was time for us to leave. I drove AJ home first, followed by msCyborg...and then Onyx. I drove to her house a little under the speed limit. You see, I am leaving for a new location in a day, and I wanted to get as much time as I could to talk with her and just listen as I could before I left her. I'm going to see her later in the day this day, but that will be the last time for a very long time. After I left her house, I was alone in my car.

The moment I turned off of her street, Green Day came on the radio. Good Riddance (I Hope Your Have The Time of Your Life). I frowned the moment I heard the first few chords, but still sang along... thinking all the while. I thought about my friendships, how I hugged everyone who was in that room with me tonight. How I said 'bye' to every single one of them. How I could feel real sadness in some of the hugs, where I hadn't expected to feel anything but another person. And though 'I love you's were thrown about haphazardly this evening, I know for a fact they were true. I'm going to miss them, and I do love them, each one of them.

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind

Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time 

I continued to drive home, the radio off now, looking at the road, still thinking. Everywhere I looked, there was some sort of relationship. I saw an elderly couple sitting on their front porch. I saw a group of teenagers standing around a 'hang-out' spot... and then I started to see other things. Like, how the glow of one headlight is far less brilliant than two - all alone, it really is not effective. Or how despite having a home, a small dog would rather sit patiently outside, sniffing the night air. Or how the moon, despite its haunting glow is in fact, alone.

It's something unpredictable, but in the End it's Right

I hope you have the time of your Life

However, despite the dog's content attitude outside, there will always be a happy family inside to greet him when he decides to enter. The burnt headlight will be replaced eventually, blinding each oncoming vehicle. And the moon, without the sun's warm glow behind, the moon would remain dark - and we would remain ignorant of the beauty it holds on a clear night. 

And like the moon, I would be nothing without the warm love I have from my friends and family. Without them, I would be nothing more than a shell of a being, doomed to remain in a limbo between life and the unknown - not really living, but far from dead. 

I'm leaving them all soon. However, if you look close enough, it's very easy to make out the faint outline of the dark side of the moon in the night's sky.

But I'm not...

All I can say is that my name is Jereality. I'm eighteen years old. I'm going to start - no, continue - my life in college...

I guess I'll just say that I had one of the best, most depressing evening of my life. I enjoyed every minute of it.

For what it's worth it was worth All the While

It's Been A While

The title pretty much says it all. It has been quite a while since I blogged... It's not like I've even really been very busy. It's just felt like I am - I don't know why. So many things have happened since I last wrote... Uh, Daytona and I called it quits... I didn't know it would hurt that much... I wanted the relationship to end and I was the one who wound up in tears... Wyoming scooped him up though... - No, that's not how it happened. He asked her a couple days after we broke up... Talk about rebound, right? She recently broke up with her boyfriend, too... to date Daytona... I don't know... I told them I didn't care... but I can't not care. He was my first real boyfriend... and when we broke it off, he seemed completely fine...online... where it happened... because I couldn't bear to say anything to his face... because I'm a coward. 

He told me that I can tell him anything [-after we broke up-]. He's still one of my closest friends. But to know that Wyoming dumped AJ to go and date Daytona - which I know is exactly what happened - just seems so incredibly... _shallow. She just... I've been so angry, and so annoyed... It feels like I've been stabbed in the back, really, it does... However, I have yet to tell anyone how I feel - besides my unofficial therapist, Tophersan - he's really been a fantastic help. I love him for that. Mother read over my shoulder once when I was having my 'Rant Session' and said he had 'a good head on his shoulders.' Which is completely true.

Alright...what else has happened... Oh!

I went camping! In the wilderness! Away from technology! Yeah, me and Onyx and her Father and Sibling and his best friend and several other Adults and two small children and a dog. that dog was fantastic - an Australian Sheepdog called Eli. One of the most well-behaved canine's I've ever seen in my entire life. Anyway, I had the best time camping. We were at Saranac Lake in New York somewhere. Oh my gosh, it was beautiful! The trees, and the water and the sky at night. It was so breathtaking, really, it was. I saw three shooting stars the first night on a rock, fifteen on a boat the second night and seventeen on another rock at a different campsite. It was so fantastic. 

I got eaten up there, though... Mosquito and spider bites galore when I came home. Totally worth the scenery, though.. I definitely recommend camping there. You have to boat your way to your campsite... because they are all on islands! Amazing.

What else happened recently... I don't remember anything else 'big' that happened except Mar left for college the other day... It was sad. I leave in a couple days, the same day as another friend of mine : Jumbo/Bertha - Same person, two names...she's just that special. Anyway, onto frightening matters...

My Father - who is deathly allergic to bees - was stung three times the other day. He was doing a clean up with a friend of his in a city near my hometown... and he moved a whole bunch of leaves and such and I guess they hadn't been moved in a very long time because he said a swarm of bees came from under it and attacked.

 He drove himself to the hospital where my Mother works and then got treated and yelled at five times for not having his EpiPen. I drove Mother and myself to the hospital, 'cause she had to work and I had to be the driver for Father... Today, though, Father was like 'Hey, do you want to see where I got stung?' Me, totally curious agrees and we take a whole bunch of bee/wasp killer with us and drive to the city...

Well, when we got there, he started to spray the pile of quiet leaves from afar while I moved the leaves with a broken weed-whacker. Mistake, that. Apparently, after their initial attack the previous day, they had regrouped and decided to swarm up and attack me. 

Momentarily stunned, I stood still for a second before father began to shout for me to run across the street. I wound up with two stings one on each arm...they hurt. They hurt badly. And I'm not allergic, it seems.... otherwise...it's a very slow acting poison.

That felt good, the letting lose of everything that I felt I should tell you... thanks for reading! I'll write more later, I promise...

"We'll be back in a little while... See, we're trying to find a knife that will fit your back."
